In this “Moves of Doom Mondays” we’re looking at Rob Van Dam, a wrestler who had more moves than you could shake a Sheik at but still had his trusty moves of doom. Rolling Thunder Rob Van Dam’s Rolling Thunder, a roll into a senton atomico on the mat, didn’t look like it had the greatest impact and was a flashy move that took a while to do. However, considering that many said that RVD was heavier than he seemed, there’s some crushing power to this move. It seemed more effective when a chair was in play. DOOM Scale: 2…

If I had to do a top five of WCW wrestlers, La Parka, now known as L.A Park, wouldn’t be on that list. Mind you, now he’s in my top ten all-time list since he’s now a bulky, heavyweight brawler. Young La Parka looked cool as hell in WCW but he didn’t stand out among his fellow luchadors skill-wise. His greatest weapon was his charisma and personality. La Parka in WCW That isn’t to say that L.A Park wasn’t skilled. The guy had some agility, could do dives, chain wrestle a bit, and knew what he could do among his…

The Best Living Dangerously 1999 opened with Super Crazy taking on Tajiri in a match that would end up winning the crowd over in under 10 minutes. Amazing. The key here was that while these two could do something decent on the mat, their battles were typically spot-oriented. They showcased their lucha libre skills while also looking evenly matched the whole…

This event took place in Philadelphia and drew over 20,000 for a WWE Championship match between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin!

Also, Mikey was doing some pretty U.S junior heavyweight stuff here, you know that late 90s-early 00 wave of lighter U.S wrestlers who were taking some of…
